Парад Победы Now for the Russian Parade celebrating victory in The Great Patriotic War (II). By car, not by horse? Will say only once - if those drivers screw up, they get shot? Seriously, how do they keep their balance? 9:30 and 10:43: Love that response. What are they saying, Vera Burfield? Oh, I see later, 21:55, that it is Ora, which means hooray? And on cobblestone ... Ah, 14:35, we see that they have something to hold on to. 15:04: The Greeting. 15:45: This is known as the Adams Apple Jump, involuntary nonverbal, as they are tense. 16:00: Recall that Hitler held siege to St. Petersburg for 900 Days ( The Red Army was outflanked and on September 8 1941 the Germans had fully encircled Leningrad and the siege began. The siege lasted for a total of 900 days, from September 8 1941 until January 27 1944. The citys almost 3 million civilians (including about 400,000 children) refused to surrender and endured rapidly increasing hardships in the encircled city. Food and fuel stocks were limited to a mere 1-2 month supply, public transport was not operational and by the winter of 1941-42 there was no heating, no water supply, almost no electricity and very little food. In January 1942 in the depths of an unusually cold winter, the citys food rations reached an all time low of only 125 grams (about 1/4 of a pound) of bread per person per day. In just two months, January and February of 1942, 200,000 people died in Leningrad of cold and starvation. Perhaps 800,000 died). (st-petersburg) 16:43: Those of an age remember 17:34: Let us learn from this 18:53: Because it is our country that suffered the most from the Nazis 19:16: We determined the outcome of that War (It is generally believed that were Hitler not occupied on the Russian Front ... who knows ...) 28:22: Incredible view 30:14: Baltic Sea Fleet, Navy ... 32:28:P Strategic Rocket Forces ... what precision 37:02: Incredible precision 37:46: Why does just one salute? 45:00: Putin and Medyev watch 46:00: Here come the tanks 52:38: Huge trucks 55:36: Good grief 56:20 And helicopters 57:10: Putin and Medyev talk 57:52: Here come the bands, for the departure. There are many of the older generation shown in the crowd. They are well-dressed. 1:00:00: Putin takes his leave, greeting individuals in the crowd. He starts to sign autographs. He poses with children. I did not see a single cell phone in the crowd.
